The Reading Journey of Tim Hjersted: A Primer on the Art of Living & Changing the World

These are among the most influential books I read growing up, added roughly in the order I read them, from age 14 when I read Ishmael by Daniel Quinn, to Teachings on Love by Thich Nhat Hanh in my early twenties, to Manifesto For World Revolution, at 40, which I'm reading now.
Many of these books indirectly influenced Films For Action, the online documentary library I co-founded with several others in 2006.
